原文： And austerity in a slump doesn’t just inflict vast suffering. There is growing evidence that it is self-defeating even in purely fiscal terms, as the combination of falling revenues due to a depressed economy and worsened long-term prospects actually reduces market confidence and makes the future debt burden harder to handle. You have to wonder how countries that are systematically denying a future to their young people — youth unemployment in Ireland, which used to be lower than in the United States, is now almost 30 percent, while it’s near 50 percent in Greece — are supposed to achieve enough growth to service their debt. 我的翻譯： 在經濟衰退中採用緊縮政策，不僅造成巨大的痛苦。越來越多的證據顯示，即使單從 財政數據來看，緊縮政策也會弄巧成拙。由經濟衰退導致的營收下降，加上長期經濟展 望惡化，實質上降低了市場信心，並讓未來的債務負擔更為棘手。你或許會感到困惑： 這些讓年輕人看不見未來的國家，像青年失業率比美國稍低的國家愛爾蘭，目前逼近 百分之三十，而希臘則接近百分之五十，要如何達成足以支撐他們債務的經濟成長。 有幾個問題 我不太確定想問大家 fiscal term 這邊解讀成 財政數據對嗎 falling revenue的 revenue可以說是營收嗎 systematically denying a future 大家會怎麼翻這句話 systematically 我原本想加「有系統的」 後來覺得中文怪怪的 所以沒加 後面從 You have to wonder~~~service their debt這段滿長的 碰到這種長句 大家會怎麼調整語序呢？ 讓中文看起來比較順 謝謝~ --
